« Go back Canada Market: Made in Italy Overtakes the USA in the Wine Sector
The commercial relationship between Italy and Japan is experiencing a phase of extraordinary vigor, bolstered by the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the EU and Japan. Recent data confirms that Japan is not merely an outlet for luxury goods but a fundamental technological partner. For Italian companies, exports to Tokyo have reached record levels, driven by pharmaceuticals, precision mechanics, and high-end agrifood.
Japanese consumers and businesses seek excellence and reliability—core characteristics of Italian products. For those looking to export, the green economy and clean energy sectors now offer unprecedented opportunities, as highlighted by recent analyses of the industrial transitions underway in the country. Concurrently, importing advanced electronic components and technologies from Japan allows Italian industries to maintain a competitive edge in automation and robotics.
Major international trade fairs in Italy, such as the Salone del Mobile or Vinitaly, remain the primary touchpoints for Japanese operators. FederCamere works to maximize the visibility of these events abroad, providing Japanese buyers with all the necessary information to facilitate their participation. At the same time, Italian participation in events like Foodex Japan represents an essential showcase for B2C companies aiming to intercept sophisticated local demand.
The Italian chamber system offers direct support to foreign operators interested in collaborating with the national productive fabric. Key information includes:
- Digitalization of B2B processes to simplify ordering and logistics.
- Certified commercial news regarding Italian companies to ensure transparency and security in business dealings.
- Dedicated business matching programs to connect Japanese tech startups with Italian industrial districts.
Regarding this synergy, the President of FederCamere, Maurizio Carnevale, stated:
"Japan represents a frontier of stability and value for our companies. Through collaboration with Japanese partners, we do not just export products; we integrate the technological skills that form the basis of future manufacturing”.
